At first I was like "no" but a new system could be better because the current system isn't implemented very well with the NNID system and was a hassle just to get the coins because I always felt those surveys to be pointless and had redundant elements to them. It makes me wonder how they will implement the new reward system with older games (especially 3DS and Wii U games) that used the Club Nintendo system because it would be forcing people that bought those games out of rewards for the new system. I'm shocked conversion of Club Nintendo accounts to the new system wasn't considered since they are dropping all coins and games associated with each Club Nintendo account.

I am a Platinum "Elite Status" member for 2015 and have 1210 coins. I'll be sure to not put my 1210 coins to waste this coming February.

Yeah, I knew about this and wanted it to post it as news, actually. I guess now it's a bit late to post it there.

But anyway, yeah, it's sad to see it go, but a new system could be a lot better like you point out. Another reason I think this is happening is because of how flawed the current Club Nintendo codes are. There were issues with Smash 4 and now with the Wii Mini, for example, so something needed to be done.
